Topic: Mark a singe post inside a topic as an article

[barkthy]

Hello, would it be possible to get a "mark as article" button on every post inside a topic ? (not just the first one).

I think it would be pretty useful when you don't want to create new topics for news. As an example, let's take a forum about hardware, with a topic for every graphic ward model. When a news about one card come up about one model, it would make more sense to add an additional post on that model topic and mark it as an article raather than recreating a new topic about that model just to get it as an article.


Just to take a look, I tried to manually set sp_articles.id_message to the id of a post that is not the first one of a topic, but after that the article isn't displayed at all. How come ? Isn't it just supposed to join to messages.id_msg and retrieve the body field ? How can it see that it is not the first post of a topic ?
